I found I am able to replicate the same issue you are having with the email displayed in differently than what is set on the form field. Thank you for reporting this issue to us. I've sent a bug report about this to our developers so that we can get this problem fixed as soon as possible.

UPDATE: I ended up doing some further tests and I believe I've found the cause of this problem.

I noticed that your form had encryption enabled so I tested this furthermore in a separate test where I found if it's disabled then the form date regardless of the setting is displayed correctly in emails.

However, once the form encryption is enabled or re-enabled it breaks how the date is displayed.

So I've narrowed this down to the fact that either there's a problem with the notification when using encryption or the online version of the notification email when viewing it from an encrypted form might be the other possible cause.

My form requires encryption. Are you able to fix the date display in the notification email?
